%N Least possible strictly positive product of the two initial terms of a Fibonacci-like sequence containing n.

%C A Fibonacci-like sequence f satisfies f(n+2) = f(n+1) + f(n), and is uniquely identified by its two initial terms f(0) and f(1); here we consider Fibonacci-like sequences with f(0) > 0 and f(1) > 0.

%C This sequence is part of a family of variations of A249783, where we minimize a function g of the initial terms of Fibonacci-like sequences containing n:

%C - A249783: g(f) = f(0) + f(1),

%C - a: g(f) = f(0) * f(1),

%C - A286326: g(f) = max(f(0), f(1)),

%C - A286327: g(f) = f(0)^2 + f(1)^2.

%C For any n>0, a(n) <= n (as the Fibonacci-like sequence with initial terms n and 1 contains n).

%C For any n>0, a(A000045(n)) = 1.

%C For any n>2, a(A000032(n)) = 2.
